Microbreweries and home-brewing activities have gained in popularity of late, with upwards of 1,500 independent brewers now making quality craft beer all over the country. In light of this ever-increasing interest in the art of the brew, the experts at tour company Urban Oyster have teamed up with Manhattan by Sail’s Clipper City Tall Ship to offer a sightseeing and beer-educating experience along New York's world-renowned harbor. The Clipper City is the largest sailing vessel in New York, and was built as a lumber-hauling schooner in 1854. She was later rebuilt based on the original plans, which are now part of the Smithsonian Institute’s permanent collection. In the 1980s, the Clipper City was in grave disrepair until Manhattan by Sail’s founder and native New Yorker Tom Berton arranged to have her restored. The revitalized Clipper City (refurbished with people in mind instead of cargo) comfortably accommodates 150 passengers and crew. With her sprawling deck, ample seating and full bar, she measures in at 158 feet long and 120 feet up from the deck. The Clipper City Craft Beer Tasting Sail sets sail every Saturday and Sunday afternoons. As the beer connoisseurs introduce your taste buds to a variety of exceptional locally brewed lagers and ales, not to mention an assortment of cheeses and charcuterie, the yacht makes its way down the East River. As you learned about beer-making and the various distinctions between brews, the topsail Clipper heads for Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, offering fantastic vantage points of the Manhattan skyline along the way. She sails back toward South Street Seaport where she began, but not before lingering at Lady Liberty and allowing for great views of landmarks like the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, Governors Island and the suspended Verrazano-Narrows Bridge with its massive towers and double decks that connect the boroughs of Brooklyn and Staten Island. The views really are stunning, so take advantage of the ship's raised quarter deck for unparalleled sightseeing. The beer tasting is bookended by opportunities to imbibe at the open bar with a range of liquor, wines and spirits. The crew socializes with the passengers and even welcomes guests to help hoist the sails. At the end of your sail, when you come back to dry land, the South Street Seaport area is a great place to find somewhere delicious to eat, talk about what you learned over a late lunch, and soak up some of that beer.

Uno de los cruceros más grandes jamás construidos, la única nave de su tipo que sobrevivió habiendo estado activa en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra de Corea. Lanzado en 1938 HMS Belfast pronto fue comisionado al servicio en 1939 como el mayor crucero a disposición de la Marina Real en aquél momento. Jugó un papel importante en la destrucción del crucero de batalla alemán Scharnhorst y en el desembarco de Normandía. Sirvió a la Armada Real hasta el 1.965, cuando fue salvado por la nación en 1.971 como recordatorio del único patrimonio naval de la Gran Bretaña. Construcción Naval Esta nueva exposición orientada a las familias está formada por una parte práctica, pantallas interactivas y proyecciones que muestran las técnicas de construcción naval y de la época de la navegación a vela hasta métodos de prefabricación modernos. La exposición se centra en la ciencia, la ingeniería y la historia social de la construcción naval en la Gran Bretaña, y los elementos interactivos de la exposición le permitirán que los niños de todas las edades participen en la experiencia. Explore Uno de los cruceros más grandes es el único superviviente después de haber estado de servicio durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Ha servido a la Gran Bretaña durante 32 años, jugó un papel importante en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra de Corea, y también realizó otras misiones entre los años 50 y 60. Se salvó de ser destruido en 1971, y ahora forma parte del Museo Imperial de la Guerra y es el primer barco preservado por la nación desde Nelson’s Victory. Gracias a los trabajadores y voluntarios – muchos de los cuales son veteranos de la tripulación – el museo se asegura de que HMS Belfast todavía tiene un papel importante que desempeñar en el patrimonio británico marítimo. La historia del HMS Belfast El término “crucero” se remonta a los tiempos en que grandes fragatas podían separarse de la flota oficial para cruzar de forma independiente. El crucero de vela, al igual que su contraparte del siglo XX, fue lo suficientemente potente y rápido para atacar y destruir los enemigos. Durante el siglo XIX, cuando la vela se convirtió en vapor y los barcos de manera fueron reemplazados por los construidos de hierro, y más tarde de acero, el crucero se convirtió en un buque de guerra utilizado para patrullar las rutas comerciales del imperio. Tenga en cuenta: los niños menores de 16 años deberán ir acompañados por un adulto. Duración aproximada de la visita: 1½ - 2 horas
